Rotterdam Score

(Meningococcal septic shock in children)

Variables

Values (laboratory studies were performed at the time of admission)

Potassium (mmol/L)

Base excess (mmol/L)

Platelet count (X 10⁹/L)

C. Reactive Protein (mg/L)

(all values are mandatory before computing)

mnmn
Rotterdam Score =
Rotterdam Score (RS) = 1.01 + (1.21*serum potassium level) - (0.29*base excess) - (0.024*Platelet count) - (3.75 log*Serum CRP level)
Predicted Death Rate =
Predicted Death Rate = e^(RS) / (1 + e^(RS))
